Xiaomi had a line that started with the letter A a few years ago. The Mi A1 from 2017 was a real price-performance tip, but unfortunately it died out after the Mi A3 in 2019. Xiaomi is now bringing back the A1 under the cheaper Redmi brand, although A1 can also be understood as an acronym for Android One. It was an initiative by Google to enable other manufacturers to use the latest software on very cheap smartphones appearing without a user interface adapted by the manufacturer.
Cheap screen but big
If you’re looking forward to cutting-edge technology under the hood, you’ll be unfortunately disappointed. In return, the display is significantly larger than its predecessors (if that’s a benefit to anyone). The 6.52-inch screen is broken by a 1,600 x 720 pixel LCD and a waterdrop-shaped notch at the top of the screen.
There’s a 5MP front camera, but the 8MP wide-angle and 0.3MP depth sensor on the back aren’t very well equipped. A MediaTek Helio A22 with a quad-core CPU, a paltry 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of memory, which can be expanded via microSD, provide the drive. The micro-USB port, which is used to charge the impressive 5,000 mAh battery, also looks a bit outdated.
The Redmi A1 is now in France, among others
As you can see, the hardware is unfortunately not that great. Technical errors should be met with price. Xiaomi sells the Redmi A1 for just 99 euros in European countries like France, Hungary and Slovakia. So it’s a good sign that it will officially land on German shelves soon
